Since moving to Aston Villa in the January transfer window Marcus Rashford has settled in well, though he is causing problems for his new club.
The 27-year-old has showed glimpses of the form that made him a crowd favourite at Man United, and if he can start adding goals too, Ruben Amorim could well end up with egg on his face.
“It’s MY fault Salah and De Bruyne left Chelsea…” – which Blues legend made this HUGE admission?
Marcus Rashford causing problems for Villa
Whilst it was clear for all to see that there was something not quite right with the player, his lack of effort undoubtedly behind Amorim’s decision to drop him from match day squads, it’s also ostensibly true that Rashford was never really given a chance to impress.
Minds were made up pretty quickly that he was surplus to requirements, and once the January window opened, it was only a matter of time before he left.
Barcelona sporting director Deco admitted the club had looked at Rashford, even if a deal wasn’t forthcoming.
As recently as a week ago, sources close to the player were briefing the media that Rashford still hopes to engineer a move to the Catalan giants.
It’s his brilliant form that is causing the problems for Villa, as well-connected scout, Mick Brown, told Football Insider that Barca are still interested.
“I hear Barcelona and Bayern Munich are looking at him,” he said. “If he keeps performing to his best level, it’s a three-way win-win-win situation.
“Villa win because they get a very good player for six months, Marcus wins because he has the opportunity to show off his talent and potential earn a big move.

“And at the end of the day, Man United win because they’re more likely to get their highest-paid player off the books rather than having an unhappy player at the club.
“If these top clubs are interested and they come in, his value will shoot up. United will look to drive his price tag up and make as much money as they can from him.
“Having these top teams interested will do them no harm at all. So then everybody’s a winner – but only if he keeps performing as well as he can.
“He’s certainly got enough in his locker, it’s just a question of if you can get it out of him, and I think he’s got to help himself by working hard to be the best he can be.
“So the likes of Bayern and Barcelona will be looking at him to see if he’s going to be at that level. It all depends what he can do while he’s at Villa, that’s the expectation.”
Funny as 3 press sources today say he is staying at Villa, and will adjust his Salary, totally contradicting this.
never liked him as a player.
Totally agreed with you
Who are you😳
Who are you😳
Who cares🙄
it’s funny how minds where made up quickly under Amorim, fact is Rashford has been underperforming at United for years. And Amorim seen him in training every day. He obviously saw a lack of commitment and desire. I think Marcus thought he had made it at United and the move to Villa has made him put his foot on the accelerator again. I do hope it works out for him and where ever his future takes him he can live up to his potential.
thank you,
He is an England international and his pedigree is not a matter for conjecture .
He must keep working hard and maintain a professional conduct. Goals will come. His assists show his quality with Aston. an English MBE has responsibility beyond the came in King Charles’s relm.
Rashford has never played consistently well, except that one year playing up front most games for Solly. He’s had plenty of time to show his desire and focus on his game, he didn’t di it, and on the pitch he did the Pogba trot to infuriate the fans and fatally Amorim.
Garnacho is a totally different animal, he doesn’t stop running, he takes people on, and no player can always get it right.
No egg on Amorim’s face even if Rashford scores 20 goals between now and the end of the season. He made the right choice! Keep him and his value would have dropped even further, if Rashford makes the effort, we can double the money from his sale!
We have all clicked on the story. 😡
He looks to me a player with só much to prové right now. He is not where he is supposed to be. He needs to manage a lot of demons himself as i bélieve he is an achitect of his problems. A fantàstic player on his day bt só many sideshows too. Im ostensibly dissapointed with him 🔴⚫⚪
The two writers above Clarke and JJ got it wrong cause Rashford scored three goals under Amorim in his four appearances I think, my assumption is that Amorim disliked him period
THE COACH BECAME PERSONAL AND THAT’S A NO-GO ZONE FOR ANY COACH WORTH HIS SALT!!!
dao protiv evertona koji nije ličio na sada a pre toga kod Ten Haga loše plus noćni život nije odgovorio na ono što je dobio od njega novi ugovor 30 dana 1.4000.000 funti i to za njega nije bitno tako se ponašao verujem pre da ga je Amorin otkazao na račun Retflika kako bi ga prodao zbog nezaštićene plate što je i ok,ali kao navijač sećam se kad je počeo i takav nam fali nadam se Obiju ili sličnim igračima iz akademije
amorim hates rashford
Rushford will fit in well at Barcelona, because the quality of players there will surely take him to a higher level. That would really be good for his performance and future.
